Confirmed from Franklin Boro Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Clean space with a waterfall, picnic areas and playgrounds.
What runners say about Franklin Boro Park
“Gorgeous quiet Park very clean, they made a little section with white sand so you could go into the water.”
“My FRANKLIN HIGH SCHOOL class of '70 classmates luncheon group had a beautiful picnic today at Franklin Park.”

Great place to spend time and relax. Many scenic views and different birds to see. Some times you may even see a bald eagle.
I usually visit Franklin Boro Park twice-daily. Once before noon and then after 5 in the evening. I take two walks around Franklin pond in the ball fields in the morning and the same in the afternoon. It's clean and adheres to the governor's regulations as for distancing and wearing masks.
This is a nice area to walk around and just take in the environment around you. If you have small kids this place just built a second awesome playground for them. Its exceptionally quiet despite the many activities for kids. This a hidden gem of a place.
One of the best parks I've ever been to in my life. Its beautiful, open and scenic views every way you look! The play ground is great and very entertaining
